Romford

Electric gates for Romford driveways

Romford is about 10 miles from our Chafford Hundred base, and we work across the town and the north of Havering. The housing is mostly suburban: inter-war semis in Collier Row and Rush Green, post-war homes on the Harold Hill estate, and larger detached properties towards Havering-atte-Bower and the green belt.

A lot of Romford homes have had their front gardens turned into parking, which leaves a drive only just long enough for a car. Swing gates that open inwards would hit the car, so we often recommend a sliding gate that runs behind a side wall or fence, or a telescopic gate where space is tight.

Every job starts with a free survey to check the space, the ground and the power supply, and to make sure the gate will not open over the pavement.

Havering & Beyond

Larger homes, schools and businesses

To the north of Romford, around Havering-atte-Bower and Chase Cross, homes are larger and drives longer, and bespoke aluminium gates with matching pedestrian gates are popular. Not far away, we installed Safari laser-cut cantilever gates in Upminster, with new walls, fencing and a porcelain driveway.

We also work for schools and businesses. At Avanti Court Primary School in Ilford, just west of Romford, we installed gate automation, access control and the groundworks. School and commercial gates get non-contact safety devices and can be controlled by Paxton access control.

We hold CSCS cards and enhanced DBS clearance for work on school and public sites.

FAQs

Romford questions

Common questions from homeowners and businesses in Romford.

Which parts of Romford do you cover?

All of Romford, including Collier Row, Harold Hill, Rush Green, Chase Cross and Havering-atte-Bower. For Gidea Park, Hornchurch, Emerson Park and Upminster, see our Hornchurch & Upminster page.

My drive is only just long enough for my car. Can I have a gate?

Usually, yes. Inward-swinging gates need space behind them, but a sliding or telescopic gate does not open into the drive, so your car can park right up to it. The gate needs space to slide along a wall or fence beside the opening. We measure on the survey.

Can a gate open outwards over the pavement?

No. Gates must not open over a public footpath or road, so outward-opening gates only work where the opening is set back from the pavement. Where it is not, we fit inward-opening or sliding gates.

Do you install gates for schools?

Yes. We have installed gates at schools including Avanti Court Primary School in Ilford. See our school gates page for how we approach safeguarding, safety and access control.
